My baby got a bobo

It's a sad day for my baby, the Cannibalistic Corrolla. It got cannibalized by a parking garage. Parking garages are not particularly user-friendly: this one has random sharp turns, steel-lined cement pillars and narrow through-ways. I took a sharp turn into a narrow through way and got too close to a steel lined pillar. Okay, ended up wedged against the pillar and stuck. Called CAA. Waited until 4:30am for CAA only to discover that the garage was too low for their truck. The guy came downstairs with a jack, squirmed under my baby and managed to unwedge me.

Sigh... It could have been worse... Nothing hurt but my pride, the left side of my car and my wallet. Sigh, I need a good body shop.

I haven't whined about lack of coconut donuts in ages...

Mind you that's probably because the last time I did, the lady at the donut shop told me I was crazy because there had never ever ever been such a thing as a coconut donut in such an establishment. Kind of made me wonder what I'd had the day before that I'd been sure was a coconut donut and just had me questioning my sanity in general. Oye, and I used to thing the biggest danger of donuts was the fat content...

You Are a Boston Creme Donut

You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out.

What Donut Are You?

Who me? Exagerate?

You Are From Jupiter

You are exuberantly curious - and you love to explore newness. Enthusiastic and optimistic, you get a kick out of stimulating intellectual discussions. Foreign cultures and languages fascinate you. You love the outdoors, animals, and freedom. Chances are you tend to exaggerate, so try to keep a lid on that. If you do, you'll continue to be known for your confidence, generosity, and sense of justice.

Proposal accomplished!

Well, here we go. I proposed my thesis, it's been accepted. I'm taking a break tonight and then its on to more work.

Apparently, I broke some sort of attendance record for HK thesis proposals. I think I had half the first year exercise phys students in attendance. Had them doing the wave (we were waiting for one of my committee members - got some funny looks from the program director when he looked into the board room).

I've added pics of my new lace scarf. It's made from the really gorgeous hand-dyed stuff from the big goat farmer that I spent a small fortune on during my trip to Halifax last fall. Loved working with the fibers, love the feel of the scarf even more.

I actually think it lives in our lab...

...and somehow survived the RCMP bomb squad evacuating the dangerous items from our lab back in the day.

My mortal enemy is a club sandwich...
